The Republican presidential nominee said Thursday on ABC's "Good Morning America" that he would make the decision at a later date. He said: "I'm not saying that I'm not or I am. Hopefully I won't have to make that decision."

New York's archbishop, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, has said that in a warm private exchange at an otherwise testy charity dinner last week Clinton had told Trump that "whatever happens, we need to work together afterward."

But Clinton sidestepped a question Wednesday about whether she would meet one-on-one with Trump after the November election.

She told journalists that she would reach out to Republicans and independents and "the elected leadership of the Congress."
